The Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is known as an iconic symbol of love and architectural brilliance.
The Taj Mahal holds mystery within its walls that has captivated imaginations for decades.
The Taj Mahal's basement is reportedly closed, and the reason for this remains unknown.
Here's a breakdown of why the basement of the Taj Mahal is closed.
Reports indicate that there are 22 sealed rooms in the Taj Mahal's basement, which remain inaccessible to everyone.
The basement was last open to the public in 1934. After that, it was only accessible for inspections.
Historians say that there are two stairs leading to the basement, which has been closed since the time of Shah Jahan.
It is said that opening the rooms could potentially damage the monument's structure.
Permission is only authorized to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the official body responsible for the Taj Mahal's preservation.
